The Never-Ending Dance
I too have suffered from despair since childhood. It began at the age of 11 when my father died. To this day there are many occasions in my daily life when I cannot get excited about something because I know it will not last and my pleasure will not last and I will die and nobody will care and nothing I have done will make any difference, and so what?

Thanks for reblogging this!
Thanks for this lovely post Jeanie! I always get excited when I see some of those symbols appearing in some way. Once I woke at 4.44 am to record a dream. A few times recently I’ve had dreams one after the other in which gifts were given to me, which I didnt open. The third time this happened in my dreams I took notice..
Enjoy the Smoky mountains and the grandchildren – we’re down at the sea for a brief vacation. We escaped the gale force winds and icy weather that was experienced last week; and for a brief spell the days are warm and sunny, icy cold at night.
Thank you, Susan. I get excited at these symbols too. The more I notice these and other symbols in dreams, the more I notice them in waking life, to the point that I can see meaning in practically everything, waking or sleeping. As you know, this imaginative way of seeing is enormously enriching and a humbling and reaffirming reminder of the Mystery of life.
Talk about reminders of the Mystery, few things are as humbling as the powerful elemental and life-giving forces of the ocean in winter! Enjoy!
Susan, I’ve stumbled upon a special synchronicity involving this morning’s conversation. I just checked my blot stats and discovered this is my 444th post! How lovely. Thank you for being in my life. J
Loved this post Jeanie!
Regarding DNA and the spiral … the anthropologist Jeremy Narby has written about this from an extraordinary perspective in his fascinating account of shamanically-based experiences in the Amazon in his book: The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and The Origin of Knowledge.

Thank you for this recommendation, Richard. It seems to me you might have recommended it to me before…..and I might have ordered it…..and it might be stacked up with the 100 or so other books I’ve ordered and haven’t had a chance to read yet…..at home in Orlando……while I’m here in North Carolina with a stack of about 20 books I haven’t read yet. 🙂 If I’m right and this is the second mention of this book, then I think that’s a sign I definitely need to read it! I’ll make it a point to do so just as soon as I get back! I love having friends who recommend books to me. I’m never disappointed when I take them up on their suggestions! Thanks for writing.
